goodbye 2009 - hello 2010

2009....I am so glad to see you leave.

This has been the hardest year of my life. I've learned and grown more this year than I ever thought possible. I am so ready for this year to be behind us. I'm sad today. This is not the way I thought I would be ringing in the coming year. I am also hopeful. This is not an easy thing for me. It's hard to be hopeful when it seems like hope is an unattainable goal. I will decide to be hopeful.

I have goals for the upcoming year.
My priorities and perceptions have changed.
I am so blessed and thankful tonight. Even on this hard and difficult road, I am constantly aware and reminded of God's Grace.
He is our Hope.
He is our Strength.

I wish you all blessings and joy for the new year!
